Yup. A pity. The 9550 could use these upgrades. Since RIMs latest devices appear to lack innovation, I'm taking a hard look at a Droid when I re-up with my carrier next year. RIM has until then to get it right ...

Well for the very, very little that it is worth. I was talking with a Verizon rep the other day in the plant, and he stated that there will be a torch-like slider coming out on Verizon before the Holidays.

I don't believe it. I want to believe it, but...

There are a tone of coporate Verizon BB users out there. Something has to be coming in the near future.

The OS 6 refresh of the Storm would have been nice. I have a bad trackball tour and I keep limping along hoping for something a little nicer than the Tour2/Bold.

Well, I hope they do something soon. I have a Tour and would like to upgrade to a Torch. But, given that I don't want to leave Big Red, the only two options right now is the Storm (which I don't like) or the Bold (not much of an upgrade from the Tour). I'd like to stay with BB, but the Droid Pro is looking better every day.

i had the storm 1 and 2 and i must say 2 did not really hold up i went through 7 of them before i got one the stayed working long enough and still have moments of lock ups and i seriously have maybe 4 apps total on the thing
